SEOUL: Olympic champion Lydia Ko stayed on leader Hannah Green´s tail at the LPGA BMW Ladies Championship in South Korea on Friday until the second round was suspended because of rain.

New Zealander Ko was four strokes behind Australia´s Green when play was halted just after 1 p.m. at Seowon Valley Country Club due to unplayable conditions. The second round of the no-cut event is set to resume at 8 a.m. on Saturday, with round three scheduled to begin later in the morning. Ko was 3-under par for the day after 13 holes, taking her to 8-under overall.
